I'm enjoying a child free day (until nursery pick up at 3).. had an hours nap, can't remember falling asleep. Just back from
Whooping cough vaccine (ouch).. I'm such a wet blanket with injections

AmandaP86x · 06/10/2017 20:24

Hey girls been lurking just wanna leave a wee comment!!

24+5 today!!! Been lightheaded a few times this week too. Getting a pain in my left hip - can’t really pin point what it is if it’s muscle bony or nerve pain lol kinda comes and goes!

Xx

ForumUsername · 07/10/2017 09:26

Anyone else having trouble with picking names?
Myself and DH haven’t found 1 we like!!

We have to register the baby within 3 months of being born so hopefully we’ll have 1 by March 😂

Waitingonasmile · 07/10/2017 09:44

Yeah I struggled with boy names for the first one and finding second impossible. We had so many lovely girls names. In Scotland we only have 3 weeks to register birth!

Had the worst sleep last night. Starting to get really uncomfortable. Sad

millsbynight · 07/10/2017 10:05

HELLO THIRD TRIMESTER! ☀️

(sorry for the nudie shot)

OP posts:
Maybebaby2 · 07/10/2017 10:18

Hope your feeling better amanda the pain could be stretching if you're having a growth spurt?

forum yes picking a name has become a huge issue! We were decided on Ivy Rose but I changed my mind because I dont like the double name and Ivy on it's own doesn't work very well our surname. Then we had Evie for a while then Eve, now we're thinking Zara but I'm not completely sold! I just want a list and decide when she's here so I don't have time to over think it, but struggling to have a list of names we agree on!
If she was a boy the name would have been Jude, easy peasy and no hassle!

AmandaP86x · 07/10/2017 10:42

@millsbynight you look bloody fanstastic !!!

I am bigger at 25 weeks! I also noticed some new stretch marks on my boobs last night no bloody surprised though they r huge 🙈

millsbynight · 07/10/2017 10:51

I have stretch marks on my boobs too @AmandaP86x 🙋🏼 and on my hips and outer thighs from when preg with DS. I'm getting some new pink lines on my hips which I'm not happy about but I'm quite pale so they're not very obvious unless looking up-close. Also we are growing actual human beings in our bellies so we can give ourselves a break Grin

AmandaP86x · 07/10/2017 11:01

@millsbynight Defo I’ll show you all my bump shortly 😂😂 I Defo have “popped” over last week.

How is everyone’s movements???? I don’t have a specific pattern but if he kicks throughout the day I am reassured xx

ChocoMunchi · 07/10/2017 11:50

@Waitingonasmile we are also really struggling with names. My partner likes Pearl I like Beatrice.

We must have been through every name list. People say it’s ok when she is born you’ll just know... but surely you need at least a few to pick from?

MissyJones80s · 07/10/2017 11:56

AmandaP86x I popped last week as well, this week loads of people have been asking!

My movements seem to have no pattern that them either. Definitely increased over the past week or so for sure. Midwife gave me a little table chart thing to complete where you keep note of movements over a 2 hr period each day for 2 weeks at the same time each day from 28 weeks on (I think) so next few weeks I’ve been tasked with trying to take notice of patterns...any one else doing this?

Owl1011 · 07/10/2017 12:55

I think someone mentioned a little while ago about pain in their ribs?? I woke up early hours Friday morning with excruciating pain in my rib under my left boob, happened once or twice more and nothing since? Confused

@AmandaP86x baby's movements have been stressing me out! So much movement last weekend and early in the week then literally nothing Thursday day and night, we are currently redecorating and had done so much that day I was so paranoid I'd overdone it. I went to see the midwife Friday morning so she could listen in and all is ok, movements have started to pick up again now so I agree it's reassuring when you can feel them!

Fredthefrog · 07/10/2017 15:58

I asked the midwife shot movement at my 25 week check as I had quite a bit then it got quiet. She said that baby is still sma and was probably hiding near my back and so we should only loo for patter from 28weeks as it is easy to get freaked out.

SJ1989 · 07/10/2017 16:27

I was told to monitor movement from 25 weeks but i was already having pretty regular movements, it may csry from person to person depending on how much fluid your carrying and on baby as some have lazy babies

ElleMcElle · 07/10/2017 16:45

Not sure if I can blame 'baby brain' for this, but I've clearly lost the plot - I've suddenly lost track of how many weeks pregnant I am! Turned up to midwife appt last week thinking I was 25 weeks pregnant and she said I was over 26? I'm coming up with a different result depending on how I calculate it.

Date of my last period was 5th April and my due date from scans is 8th Jan. So do I count back 40 weeks from due date, making me 27 weeks this Monday?

Maybebaby2 · 07/10/2017 17:00

Yeah that would be right @ElleMcElle if you were 26 weeks last Mon then whatever day you went for appointment you'd be over 26 weeks as in 26+1, 26+2 dependant what day you went. I count mine back from the due date they gave me at dating scan not my last period, although there is only 2 days difference in it for me. So I'm now 26+2. Did they say you were a bit further on than you thought you were at dating scan?

Maybebaby2 · 07/10/2017 17:10

Just looked at dates and you are at 26+5 today, if you're due 8th of Jan. Which is 3 days ahead of me, I'm due the 11th Smile

SJ1989 · 07/10/2017 17:10

Yea that would be right I'm due 31/12 and I'm 28 weeks tomorrow so your 8 days behind me so will be 27 weeks on Monday coming

hodgeheg92 · 07/10/2017 18:39

ElleMcElle I'm due the day after you and I'm 26+4 so you'd be 26+5.

I'd definitely lose track if I didn't get daily updates from my app!

We bought our pram/travel system today! We're very lucky that Grandad offered to pay for it with money as no option so we've gone for the icandy and all the accessories you can buy (at his insistence!) Then my OH has spent the afternoon between diy and cooking dinner for date night. I'm feeling very lucky today.

ForumUsername · 07/10/2017 18:51

@hodgeheg92 we bought our travel system and bedside crib today
We went to a baby fair and got a really good deal
I had researched everything and had prices from a few places and managed to get all for €300 less than the cheapest I had found

We went with the Egg stroller & carrycot, Kiddy Evoluna I-size and snuzpod crib
We should have all delivered early dec
It’s all very real!

Baby fair was great for free bits too, we got 3x mam bottles with soothers, nappies, few packets of baby wipes and loads of vouchers for baby classes, clothes etc

Great day 😊

ForumUsername · 07/10/2017 18:54

@ChocoMunchi I hate when people tell me we’ll know the name when we see the baby
You are right, surely we’ll need a shortlist to choose from?!?

I kinda like January for a girl but DH thinks that would be naff
Also like Darcy but we’ve a double barrel name so it’s sound like 3 surnames

Every other name I like has been taken by a family member 😒

WLMcI · 07/10/2017 19:44

I've been using the Kicks Count app since 27 weeks to get started with identifying the pattern. I like data and this keeps track of how many movement "sessions" happen per 4 hour period, so you don't panic over not feeling something if it's normally a quiet time of day, or if it's normally busy and it's being quiet you know to pay attention.

MissyJones80s · 07/10/2017 19:59

WLMcI I’ve got the kicks count app too but struggle to use it at work if I’m in meetings and so on...getting phone out half way through to update probably wouldn’t go down well. Then I forget how many. Thanks m wondering if I perhaps keep a tally in meetings and then add to app once out. Only thing is i can’t update it at the right times then to start noticing the pattern.

shaaan1329 · 08/10/2017 05:47

After the night I've had I feel I owe my mum an apology for calling her a wimp once when she had trapped wind.. I've been up all night with that, heartburn, acid reflux and now a dicky tummy and it is an absolutely horrendous pain!

I was maid of honour at my cousins wedding today so after what was a long day of standing anyway I stuffed my poor stomach full of terrible party food forgetting my newly squished digestive system may not cope.... lesson learned!!😭

Subsiding now, just the gurgling tummy to deal with so hoping to catch some Zzz very soon... lazy Sunday for me! Hope we're all feeling good ladies!

hodgeheg92 · 08/10/2017 08:50

@ForumUsername it's exciting and scary starting to get the big things sorted isn't it!
